Yeah, I really wish they were not going to do it this way. I can see having one half of a season, then the second half a few months later. But a whole year later? Oh well. I'm looking forward to it, nonetheless.

Yes. It's clear AMC wants to stretch the shows out longer because they don't have viable replacements. But I think the difference is that Breaking Bad was continuing to grow so spilitting the final season into two really helped build the buzz. But I don't think Mad Men is still growing. I think lots of people are becoming disillusioned with it and aren't really excited about it anymore. So it will be interesting to see if this split final season has the same positive effect on the show that it did on Breaking Bad. I predict it won't.

It's only TV so who cares? But this show has taken on an air of smugness. I'm a little fed up with it, soured so to speak. Stupid cultural references have become patronizing. Draper's self indulgent angst, sex, failing skills, and abuse of others have rendered him irredeemable and boring. Wonder what will become of Sally!??! There isn't a show, that's not a show.

With the year plus hiatus and now 7 stinking eps a year the show better be really good or it's gonna be really bad.

If I had a phone and a pen then a TV series would produce 39 episodes per year. Case closed.

I love this show. I just rewatched season 6 on Netflix. It had a lot of great stuff. I'm looking forward to the last season, even if it's broken in half. I want to know what happens to Peggy, Pete, Joan, Megan, Sterling, Cooper, Dawn, Ted, Ken, Harry, Bob, the two creative with all the facial hair, Trudy, Cutler, Sally,.....oh yeah, and Don.

I enjoyed the last season. I got a little bored a couple (3?) years ago, but thought the writers made it more interesting last season. I would have dropped it had it not improved, as I thought it had fallen that far. But now I'm back in.

A read of couple of early reviews (no spoilers!) where the reviewers said they really enjoyed what they had seen so far.

Yes...I am too invested in the characters and story to bail because the season is split. I think it's still one of the best shows on TV, and I want to see how it ends.
